{Making Time For Date Night}

like most people, our date nights are usually a little too few and far between.

saturday night grandma & grandpa agreed (notice i didn't say offered)
 to take the kids for a few hours saturday night and although we wondered if we should save
 the night of babysitting until we really had something going on, we decided we really
 needed a night out together.

away from home. and any children.

we decided to drive to a little town about thirty minutes away for mexican.

i know, that's really a new one for us...but we do love our mexican and margaritas.
frozen margaritas in this heat really hit the spot, by the way.

it was the perfect night for a drive home through the country, so we took the long way home.
i love driving along the country roads lined with cornfields on both sides, no street lights,
the sky completely dark so you can see all the stars.

i think date nights are really important,

 to be able to have a block of uninterrupted time together, just the two of us.
 sure, it's hard to make the time, to find someone to keep the kids and all that,
 but i think they are so very necessary and we try to make them a priority as often as we can.
so thank you grandma & grandpa.

 ps- next time they are spending the night!

happy monday, y'all!
